Pressley Ridge Ice Cream FunDae - 8/7/09

A bevy of guests beat the heat at the Pittsburgh Zoo & PPG Aquarium for the 15th Annual Pressley Ridge Ice Cream Fundae. Corporate sponsors of the event re-named flavors of Hagan ice cream for the evening — among them were 105.9 The X’s Chocolate Peanut Butter Whip and Lamar Advertising’s Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (Cookies ‘N Cream), which won the People’s Choice Award for favorite flavor. A family-oriented occasion, children were able to partake in face painting and enjoy performances by Gemini Theatre. Online auction items including four University of Pittsburgh Panther football tickets and an autographed photo of Coach Dave Wannstedt, club seats to a Pittsburgh Steelers preseason game, and tickets to a Pittsburgh Playhouse performance of A Child’s Christmas in Wales, helped raise more than $80,000 for Pressley Ridge.
